So expressing regret did not work, it rarely does and is widely considered a sign of weakness. Perhaps it have worked better to double down on your offensive positions, strengthen them, draw in deranged allies. (\s, maybe) Or find an employ

The article has errors. UA pays $500 a month for the $5000/mo high bandwidth high priority mobile service tier which they need for their high bandwidth drone video streaming. SpX eats the rest of the cost. This does not mean either tha

It seems obvious that AI models are derivative works of the works they are trained on but it also seems obvious that it is totally legally untested whether they are derivative works in the formal legal sense of copyright law. So it should b

The least capable doctor's time is worth $300/hr. The scribe is paid what, $25/hr? This is so much like hearing of engineers that will not hire a $20/hr maid due to egalitarian reasons so they squat in filth or waste all
